Sasikala Swearing-In as CM on Hold Till Verdict in DA Case Is Out?

Jayalalithaa and Sasikala were convicted by a Bengaluru court, but the Karnataka HC later reversed the order.

Thanks to a legal glitch in the final hours, VK Sasikala’s swearing-in as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu may be postponed. According to reports, the ceremony has been put on hold until the Supreme Court gives its verdict in the disproportionate assets case.

Satta Panchayat Iyakkam, a social organisation from Tamil Nadu, has reportedly moved a Public Interest Litigation in the apex court, asking for a stay on the ceremony till the verdict is out.

Both Jayalalithaa and Sasikala were accused in the case and were even convicted by a trial court in Bengaluru, but the Karnataka High Court later reversed the order.
